ACCOMAC -- At least two Northampton County residents received letters from Accomack County notifying them their personal information may have been subject to unauthorized access as a result of the theft of a county-owned laptop in Las Vegas earlier this month.
The two men, who are related, do not own personal property in Accomack County and have never paid personal property taxes to Accomack County, one said.
Accomack County Administrator Steve Miner said he has spoken to one other Northampton resident who also received a letter, and he thinks there were others.
"I saw the article in the Eastern Shore News, and I was thinking, 'Oh, those poor people in Accomack County,' " said Craig Richardson, who lives near Seaview in lower Northampton County and whose mailing address is in Cape Charles.
Then he received one of about 35,000 letters sent by Accomack County informing him that his name and driver's license number were on the stolen laptop. He called Accomack County the same day to ask why.

By Warwick Ashford ComputerWeekly.com 28 October 2010
Hacktivist group, the Iranian Cyber Army (ICA), has announced that it plans to sell access to its botnets, which have been responsible for attacks on social networks like Twitter and the Chinese equivalent of Google, Baidu.
The rise of these 'hacker shops' represents a new level of threat for governments and businesses, with botnets now forming the backbone for malicious cyber activities, according to the latest research from Microsoft.
Some 6.5 million botnet infections were cleaned between April and June this year - double the number in the same period last year, the 9th Microsoft Security Intelligence Report revealed.
The high profile announcement by the ICA is evidence of a more co-ordinated effort than ever before by the hacking community to execute targeted attacks, said Alan Bentley, vice-president international at security firm Lumension.
"While this is certainly not the first case of malicious code being sold online, with the rise of highly complex attacks like Stuxnet and Zeus the online hacker shops of old seem like child's play when compared to this new wave of collaborative cyber warfare," he said.

The NIS said there is a 1,000-strong hacker organization in North Korea with a number of hacking bases in China.
During a parliamentary audit on Thursday, the NIS said since January 2004, there have been 48,000 cyber attacks on South Korean government organizations, 9,200 of them this year, according to lawmakers.
